The background images are the featured images used for the posts. You are not using any featured images for your posts, so there is no background for the "Previous" "Next" navigation links.

You can set Featured images for your posts by going to individual post,
- Open for Editing
- In the right side column, choose Featured images, select the featured image for your post
- Click Update

Then your featured image will be displayed as background to "previous/next" and as banner for your post.
If you don't want to see the featured image on top of the posts.

Go to "My Sites" --> Theme [CUSTOMIZE]
choose "Content Options"
There choose where you want the "Featured Images" to be displayed.

Hope that helps.

- bests,

The theme demo shows the post page with previous and next posts and background images. My site, however does not show the background images. It has only the button names and titles of the previous and next posts. How do I add the images?

>Does anyone have any experience in adding previous/next/latest post links? I have a serial style of blogging and I want to add this. I'm able to add the "first post" link, but I don't know how to do the others.

I see that you are using Booklet theme on your website, trailymcblaze.com. This theme already offers you the feature of showing next and previous blogs at the end of the blog post. Is there anything else that you are looking for?

If you are looking forward to add links in the menu (as you added 'First' link in your website menu), you can do that by visiting My Site -> Customize (button next to Theme on the left panel) -> Menus. Here is the support document for your guidance: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

>It seems wordpress.com doesn't have anything that supports this sort of functionality which is a bit surprising.

Well, this function is already available and reflecting on your website. Is there anything else that you are looking for? Can you please elaborate a little more so that I can help you with the same? :)

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks!

For instance, one of my posts is Munich - the city. In the Previous Section it shows Australia.

The post I find at the previous link on "Munich -- The City" is "Germany 2011." Are you still seeing "Australia" there, or other similar errors? I suspect this is a caching issue. The posts shown at the Previous and Next links might take a while to update after a deletion that affects them.

Can you provide a different example where a page rather than a post is displayed at either the Previous or Next links?

"Chapter One: The Water Sees and Understands" is the post that was published prior to "Post 2" and "Post Three" is the next post that was published.

Are you trying to change the way those links look? If you can clarify your end goal, I'll be happy to guide you further from there.

Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:33:32 +0000sagebrownell2759211@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/Haha, thanks Alexander. Glad that did it!

The previous and next links look to me like they're appearing on the page but still can't be seen which is a little odd. Dropping this code into your custom CSS area should do the trick of hiding them completely either way:

.site-content .nav-single {
display: none;
}

Without access to the theme files (which isn't available on WordPress.com sites) it isn't possible to change those links so they just go to the previous/next of the category. One thing you could do is place a link or two at the bottom of your posts? A kind of "Enjoy reading? Check out our post on __" type thing.

You can get there like this: 1. lick on . 2. Click on the Image/Logo . 3. Click on the “news about .. link” on the right side under . (The link’s name is >> 2/02/2015 – New Solutions for Supply Risk Management: A Case Study.

The problem is, that viewers would like to see previous news about riskmethods or next news about riskmethods but certainly they are (at that moment) not interested in the chronologically next or previous post. If I could change the “next/previous” link behavior to next/previous in category, then this would be fine. I would then give all “news posts of riskmethods” a unique category and the next/previous link would be helpful…

I'd be happy to help! I can't seem to find an example of where the next and previous links are shown on your site, would you mind linking me to an exact page where it happens?

Thanks,
Sage

Mon, 10 Oct 2016 13:35:14 +0000alexanderbruehl2757924@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/I have just started to move to an own site/blog after extensive use of LinkedIN, which now became a bit to inflexible for what I am trying to do.

I have chosen the Twenty Twelve theme and subscribed to WordPress.com PREMIUM plan to be able to edit CSS commands.

I want to show posts without the <next post> <previous post> links on the bottom. Since those links show all posts in chronological order, it gets very confusing, when I want to only show news about a certain company shown on my site (see My Portfolio - click on Logo - click on news about ....).

I looked around in the forum and picked the hint to add

.post-navigation {
display: none;
}

Unfortunately this did not do the job. The prev and next links still show up.

Even better than entirely removing those links would be to restrict/filter the previous/next links to posts within one category. I have seen the php commands but I guess this cant be done with CSS editing in the WordPress.com Customizer...

Please accept my apology for this basic question. I am trying to get up to speed,but have my real job too.. :)

The only caveat on all this is that it will not work on Internet Explorer 9 and earlier since they have no support for this. Also, this puts the post navigation below the related posts and the categories/tags at the bottom of the posts. That is as far up as I can get things due to the structure of the HTML on Zuki.
